Ralph – How true!  You told my story exactly.  

That is what happened on the maiden flight of my newly-built Mark-3.  Bent both gear legs.  After that, I went down to the Kolb factory and flew the whole weekend with Bryan Melburn and Norm Labhart in the factory demonstrator Mark-III Xtra.  All we did was patterns & landings for about 3 hours of flight time.  Best spent flight training money I’ve ever spent!

 

The good news is, replacing a Kolb landing gear leg is relatively inexpensive!
